Parzival reflects me as a learner because I try my best, but sometimes I slip up. I like to be detailed, but sometimes I am just not.  I think that I did a goods job on Parzival because I tried hard to get the notes that are meaningful. I think I should work harder on t his and maybe try harder because at somepoints I got a little sloppy, and I don’t want that. After we read Parzival we made an essay that I am proud of.

 I am super amazed by my work. I also really think that I tried to be creative on my essay. But it was hard because when I was looking for juicy evidence it was hard because of my notes. So this quarter I feel like that taking notes should be one of my goals. Also  maybe I should work on my grammer.
